Chapter 1104: Ups and Downs
The most difficult part of facing the Big Four is:
The transition between offense and defense changes rapidly.
Of course, the Big Four have different styles, and each has their own characteristics in dealing with key balls, but there is no doubt that the connection between offense and defense is their common point.
Even if the players have taken the absolute initiative, the Big Four only need to hit the ball to turn the offensive and defensive situation around.
Therefore, before the return of the ball, everything is possible. This is especially true for key points, because the attention and concentration of the Big Four will be increased.
Go all out.
Just like now.
passive!
Federer was extremely passive! On the match point, Gawain and Federer were in a game of confrontation. Gawain obviously took the initiative and took the lead in applying pressure, so that Federer had to use the moon ball.
Generally speaking, the Moon Ball is almost equivalent to handing over all of one's advantages to the opponent, with one foot already hanging in the air, standing on the edge of a cliff.
However, the difference between ordinary defense and top defense is that -
In ordinary defense, the moon ball is just a moon ball, and the return ball itself has no quality. At the same time, the player does not make any moves to make up for the defense, so the opponent can easily smash and score.
For top defense, the moon ball is only a part of the return. First of all, the arc and rotation of the return ball need to be of high quality. Secondly, players cannot just sit there and wait for it to be captured. They need to interfere with their opponents.
Federer, although an offensive player, is equally good at defense. He knows this well, and his natural touch is the finishing touch.
One on top and one on the top.
Federer's one-handed backhand, adding rotation to the moon ball and pulling the parabola up as much as possible -
In this way, the acceleration of gravity pulls the tennis ball down, which may often create a lot of uncertainty; moreover, it forces the opponent to wait patiently for the tennis ball to fall. During the long waiting process, the timing of hitting the ball is prone to deviation.
At the same time, the pace cannot stop.
By cleverly utilizing the time the moon ball stayed in the air, Federer successfully returned to defense. With dazzling footsteps, he quickly got back to the center of the court. He was able to defend both forehand and backhand. This created huge pressure on Gawain's high pressure, and invisibly formed an impact on his subconscious.
detail.
During the batting process, there is often no time to observe these details carefully, so the audience often wonders:
Why are some moon balls easily killed by high-pressure balls; but some moon balls can become a weapon and reverse their own passivity.
Everything is hidden in the details. The seemingly simple moon ball is also a technical job.
Gao Wen has a clear understanding of this.
Therefore, facing the incoming ball, Gao Wen has been adjusting his steps and choosing a straight line to the deep area; at the same time, in order to avoid rushing and causing unnecessary high-pressure out-of-bounds mistakes, he added a lot of rotation as insurance.
This high-pressure shot was not intended to score directly, but to further expand the advantage and push Federer into a more passive predicament.
Bang! And then——
Federer did a side split and intercepted the ball at the baseline with a one-handed backhand, accurately appearing on Gawain's high-pressure hitting line.
Moreover, Federer still has room to control and glance at everything lightly.
Small ball!
Falling quickly over the net!
incredible!
Facing the impact and pressure of the high-pressure ball, Federer once again demonstrated his unparalleled hitting feel.
I'm afraid this shot is the only one of its kind in the entire professional tennis world.
Game!
Counterattack!
The confrontation between "Gawain VS Federer" is meticulously permeated in every shot. A moon ball, a high-pressure ball, seemingly an opportunity, but in fact a hidden danger. Both players add their own inspiration to the layout and confrontation, trying to pull the situation to their advantage.
You come, I go.
The air was almost burning.
In handling the crisis, Federer also demonstrated his top strength on the defensive end, and still found some breathing space under Gawain's aggressive attack.
The only shortcoming was that Gawain's hitting power was very solid, and Federer did not unload the force completely, so the parabola of the entire return ball was a little higher.
Gao Wen took small steps forward continuously, completely blocking the front of the net. He turned sideways and pushed the tennis ball back with a forehand shot.
Oops!
As soon as he touched the ball, Gao Wen realized that Federer's return had a strong spin, and his shot was not wrapped enough, and he was also unable to successfully relieve the force.
The collision of strength and power broke the soft wrapping force of the wrist, and then the tennis ball bounced back straight, drawing a rainbow across the court.
Long term!
In fact, Gao Wen knew that this time he should control the return line and respond with a small ball in front of the net, so that Federer could not keep up.
But the actual situation still broke expectations. Federer's return ball was full of hidden traps, which caused Gawain to lose control of his return ball and the arc was a bit outrageous.

It actually flew back to the deep area of the baseline.
Swaying!
Swing!
The tennis ball actually landed on the baseline, also in a straight line, almost identical to the point where the high pressure ball landed on the previous shot, at the same position.
Although it was not as expected, this kind of return ball also created a different effect——
With unexpected events piling up one after another, this round has gone out of the control of Federer and Gawain and has gone off track. Now it depends on on-the-spot response.
Federer, very embarrassed, very, very embarrassed.
He obviously did not expect that Gawain's return ball could produce such an effect. After hitting the ball in the previous shot, he quickly returned to his position and stood in the center of the court again, ready to continue defending. As a result, Gawain made this move and repeated the landing point unintentionally, and he was immediately in trouble.
He had just returned to his defensive position when he started again and rushed to the left again.
From sideways to back, his whole body was facing away from Gao Wen and the court. He could not see the hitting line, and even did a complete split. He was no longer calm. His shaky center of gravity almost made him fall. His upper body was basically parallel to the court, and his arms were stretched to the extreme.
A one-handed backhand, a hasty and reluctant interception.
No, it wasn't even an interception, it was just a block.
It's all about intuition.
There was no control, no tactics, and no plan. In a flash, the tennis ball hit Federer's racket. Now he could only rely on inspiration.
It all depends on the feel.
Bang.
The tennis ball hits the racket strings, and all the reaction force is concentrated on the tennis ball, causing it to bounce back and fly.
The parabola rushed towards the sky and drilled high into the sunlight.
The whole audience looked up.
Even Federer was unsure of the effect of his return. He supported his body with his hands and used his hands and feet to stand up again. At this point, he no longer cared about whether he was in a mess or not. He found his center of gravity again amid the bumps and chaos, and then looked up to find the flight trajectory of the tennis ball.
Tennis, where is it?
Gao Wen raised his head and stared at the tennis ball. He took small steps to adjust, and then took continuous small steps to adjust. But he found that he was retreating.
Because the parabolic falling curve of Federer's return ball is very far back, it not only successfully passes the top, but also continues to fly towards the rear position.
Is this the rhythm of going out of bounds?
